The influence of temperature and relative air humidity on the stability of ceftazidime in two different pharmaceutical preparations was investigated. The degradation of the substance studied was determined: (a) in dry air at 373, 378, 383, 388 and 393 K; (b) at air humidity RH = 76.4% at 323, 333, 343, 353 and 358 K; (c) in the humidity range 25.0 - 76.4% at 358 K. The decomposition of ceftazidime in these conditions is a first-order reaction relative to substance concentration. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the degradation of ceftazidime were calculated and compared for the two pharmaceuticals. The study was conducted using the HPLC method on LiChrosorb RP-18 columns (250 x 4 mm) with 9% acetonitrile in 0.1 mole/L ammonium acetate as mobile phase and detection at 254 nm.

β-Lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BL/BLIs) are widely used in critically ill patients. Recent research has shown the importance of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of BLs, but few studies have highlighted the importance of detecting BLIs in critically ill patients. In our laboratory, we have developed and validated a simple and robust method for the determination of ceftazidime, cefoperazone, piperacillin, avibactam, sulbactam and tazobactam in human plasma by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a pharmacokinetic model for the antibiotic ceftazidime specifically for critically ill children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and to determine optimal dosing regimens for this group.
- A prospective study was conducted with 88 children, using statistical methods and Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate dosing that maintains effective drug levels against bacterial infections.
- The final model suggested individualized dosing based on weight and kidney function, achieving high effectiveness for common MICs but indicating the need for higher doses when dealing with more resistant infections.

Article Synopsis
- * Five antibiotics were tested in an in vitro model of continuous veno-venous hemodialysis, simulating different patient scenarios to see how drug levels could be adjusted effectively during dialysis.
- * Results indicate that target-controlled dialysis can reliably adjust and maintain antibiotic concentrations at desired therapeutic levels throughout the treatment, suggesting it may improve patient outcomes in critical care settings.

Article Synopsis
- Limited information exists about the stability of penicillin-based antibiotics for skin testing, prompting a study on 16 parenteral antibiotics to evaluate their physicochemical stability and provide guidelines for clinicians.
- Most antibiotics showed good stability for 2 to 7 days, with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid being a notable exception, dropping below acceptable levels by day 2.
- The research included specific tests for chemical and physical stability, revealing that while many antibiotics maintained acceptable performance, some experienced significant color changes and pH drops over time.
